Sweden’s Supreme Court fully acquitted former Swedbank CEO Birgitte Bonnesen of gross swindling charges tied to Europe’s largest money laundering scandal, overturning her 15-month prison sentence. Bonnesen led Swedbank from 2016 to 2019 during the scandal, which involved billions in suspicious transactions linked to Baltic branches and high-risk clients. The ruling marks the final legal resolution after years of investigations and lower-court convictions, clearing her name in the high-profile financial misconduct case. Prosecutors had alleged negligence in anti-money laundering controls, but the Supreme Court dismissed all charges, citing insufficient evidence of intentional wrongdoing. The decision closes a chapter in the Nordic banking sector’s reckoning with systemic failures that exposed vulnerabilities in cross-border financial oversight.
